Recent glaciological changes in Wanda Glacier, King George Island (KGI), South Shetland Islands (61°54’ S and 62°16’S, 57°35’W and 59°02’W) off the Antarctic Peninsula, were quantified by ice flow velocity, direction and fluctuation of glacier termini measurements. Topographic changes and DGPS surveys as well as transverse and longitudinal profiles were carried out to generate a Digital Surface Model. Results show that Wanda Glacier has a small drainage basin, a high retreat rate through fusion processes and reduced ice thickness if compared to other glaciers in KGI. Surface-area changes are assessed using historical satellite imagery from 1979 to 2011. Wanda glacier lost about 31 % of its original (1.5 km² of area in 1979). The current con...
